Mister Defense

Matt Gay: 18/31 on field goals of 50+ yards the last three seasons. That is 58%. Tyler Bass: 10/13 on field goals of 50+ yards the last three seasons. That is 85%. As illogical fans were calling for Bass's head the last few years, Gay would likely need a full time security detail weeks into his tenure in Buffalo. But I am looking forward to reading this thread to see if the crazy Bass hate is still on!

Yes, definitely not a leader of men, not a leader. Because of what you say, but also because he folds, almost always, when it comes to the big games. His clear lack of mental toughness is shown in how he behaves on the field, in his crying at press conferences, and his lack of ability to win big games. And so zero playoff wins and zero playoff appearances in his 11 year career. Almost hard to accomplish such a dismal feat. When the Saints signed him to that huge guaranteed contract it also showed what a poor organization that is now. @100 million guaranteed for a guy who has never led his team to the playoffs? Who would ever consider such a stupid move? The Saints. Maybe he signs with the Jets next year or Cleveland. So while Carr had a really good arm, that is so much less important than what is between his ears.

Wow, Saints fans must be completely devastated today, inconsolable, and praying for a good outcome. Or their dreams of Carr leading them to a best case scenario, 5-12, or maybe even a 6-11 season, if everything falls into place this year, will be trashed. Maybe Bills fans can do something for them in their time of need?

Yup, this will do a lot to quell those saying how dumb this guy is.

I guess he is bad guy if you put it like that, but: 1. He just loves pandas. To me that is a good thing. Pandas are adorable and their habitat is being destroyed as well. 2 and 3 . Let those without sin... Who has not messed up and brought a few loaded guns to the airport before? Or missed a curfew? 3. First, that is kind of funny, dissing the Chiefs' fan when you are a Raider. Young kid, yeah, but what will he grow up to be? A much bigger Chiefs fan. And Jones says it was not as it appeared: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxHsWSl2I9o So, go get him Beane!

Cupboard is almost bare at conrner, so the Bills better bring him in for a look. No 2nd starter even, let alone depth. Beane will not go into the draft with such a glaring weakness on a team, one with a very poor pass defense last year. He is waiting for a potential starter to become available. Not too good ln 2024, much more solid in 2023. The Bills are good at moving defensive backs to their potential. At 27, a no brainer for the Bills to look very closely at Jack Jones.

Cook is not holding out. And the Bills will not trade an elite player, one just scratching the surface of his potential, to move up in the draft. He saw how short an NFL career can be with Dalvin and will never waste one full precious year of his career. He plays for the Bills this year, if Beane has any sense at all, and rocks the house, even more so than last year. But hopefully he does this with a 3-4 year extension in his pocket. The second best player on the team. You don't cut bait this quickly unless you don't want to Josh Allen's Bills to ever win the big one.

I agree with a lot of that. But we definitely do not know if what you say in the sentence above, now in bold, is accurate. Some guys, with skills like Milton has, the physical tools, get to the NFL and something clicks. Only one game, yup, and like we both said, lotsa backups, but he looked superb, one of the best first game performances I have ever seen in the NFL. It may not mean much, but it could, right? Like I said, it seems likely the pats saw some things in practice and camp that caused them to not have much hope for him. But you never know. Kurt Warner was bagging groceries at one point, with no one clamoring to even bring him in. Then, MVP, Super Bowl champ, and Fall of Fame.

Well, I assume he thinks he can win big with Geno, or would not have traded for him--and then signed him to a big two year extension. His offenses in the last 5+ years in Seattle have always looked second rate, and now he looks like he is establishing another one in LA. Good defense coach, but seems offense has passed him by as he has aged in the league. You are right, pretty good numbers from ol' Geno last year, the same kind of year that Dak has over and over, that are more mirage than reality--when push comes to shove they crumble. We shall see.

Wow, so Pete Caroll is not back to try to win a Suoer Bowl? Just to cash some more checks and do a job that he likes? This move will likely mean he is done very soon. Extending Smith for two more years is a pretty sad statement, either about his desire to win or mental competence. Smith is never going to lead a team to a championship, anymore than Dak Prescott is. No way. When you play it safe, sticking with an average talent when you know his ceiling will never get you there, you lose. In that division, with QBs Mahomes, Nix, and Herbert, and coaches Reid, Harbaugh, and Payton, the Raiders are set to be one of the worst teams in the league for the foreseeable future . This is why Carrol is no longer coaching the Seahawks. He is a defensive coach who thinks mediocre is good enough on offense and at the QB position. I now say he is one and done, or 1.5 and done.

???? Rodgers has signed with another team?? Huh?

Why? Isn't the goal of every NFL team to win the Super Bowl? Dak Prescott cannot beat good teams. good defenses, and has shown the latter over and over and over and over and... Jerry Jones looks to be be well over 100 years old. If Milton looks the way he looks against the Bills consistently in camp and in the pre-season, I believe it is possible the he starts the season. Jones is very old, a very poor GM, and a publicity and attention seeking narcissist. He wants the attention a Super Bowl will bring him, one more time. If Milton somehow does what I say above, why wouldn't Milton start? Jones, like most of us, likely knows that Dak is incapable of winning a championship or even contending for one. I think some desperate team without a QB would be willing to pay @ 1/2 of Prescott's salary, the girls paying the other half. Or, Dak backs up Milton. A long shot, but not if Dak looks like Dak and Milton's performance against the Bills was indicative of what kind of NFL player he will be.

Wow, just shocked that the girls made a good, maybe great move, with almost no risk. And that New England made an apparently very bad one. So Milton clearly did not look like he did against our backups when he was practicing with New England! If he did, then a comically bad move, as there are so many teams that need a high quality starter this year and next. Really looking forward to seeing how this works out, how he looks in the preseason. Dak, a good guy, will never lead them to a championship and will likely never come close. So what happens if Milton looks like he did against the Bills with the cowgirls in the preseason?

He has been available perpetually since early last season, before the injury, which may not have happened if he had been in football shape after his 'holdout' The only way a trade happens is if the 49'ers pay a substantial amount of his contract and do not want almost anything for him. That is how it works when you try to unload a player like this, who may never be the same. The Bills should take a flyer on him if they can pay him close to the league minimum and if the price is no more than a 4th round pick. Then, worth the risk. Go Beane!

One of the most boring, meandering hosts and sports shows I have ever watched--a perfect forum for someone like rodgers. Watched a few whole shows and several parts of shows--unwatchable, loaded with filler and nonsense.
